Atlantis has gripped the imaginations of explorers, philosophers, treasure hunters, historians, and archaeologists. Until now, it has remained shrouded in myth.

First described by Plato before the birth of Christ, the seductive appeal of the Lost City has long been the preserve of thriller-writers. But is it possible that this fabled city actually existed? If so, what happened to it and what are its secrets? The fascinating reality of Atlantis's epic glory and destruction are uncovered, finally, in exhilarating detail by historian Gavin Menzies.
On a trail of evidence that leads him around the world, Menzies uncovers the extraordinary truth.
And by examining new geological research, cargo salvaged from ancient wrecks, recently unearthed archaeological artefacts and cutting-edge DNA data, he makes a staggering discovery: not only did Atlantis exist, but it was at the heart of an advanced Minoan civilisation, the true extent of which has scarcely been imagined. Atlantis was at the centre of a vast world-wide trading empire, that spread from the Mediterranean to Britain and Northern Europe, India, and even North America. In The Lost Empire of Atlantis, he paints a vivid portrait of this legendary civilisation and shares his remarkable findings, including:

The present-day location of Atlantis
The cataclysm that violently destroyed the civilisation of Atlantis in 1,500 BC
The first ever decoding of the language of Atlantis
As compelling as a globe-trotting Indiana Jones adventure, The Lost Empire of Atlantis is at once a thrilling, page-turning quest for the truth and a revolutionary work of popular history that will forever change our understanding of the past.
